I'm looking to retrieve metadata for all versions of each package, including their dependencies, from Bioconductor. Specifically, I need this data in a structured JSON format that includes project names, version numbers, and corresponding dependencies. I am aware of the Bioconductor API but am unsure of the best way to use it to gather this data efficiently. Any guidance on specific API endpoints, examples of similar implementations, or best practices for organizing this information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I'm curious as to why you are collating this information and what you plan to do with it?
VIEWS files will provide most of this information; granted you would have to go over each file for the different repositories (software, data experiment, workflows, annotations) for each release.
